It is that time of year to recognize an individual to receive the Lincoln Heritage Award for Service above self. The Carmi Rotary Club each year makes this award to a person or persons for giving of their time and efforts unselfishly.

The award has been given each year since 1976. The first award was presented to J. Robert Smith and the last three awards were to Don Winkleman, Judy Bingman and Dale Peters. The award is given in February each year in honor of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. This year's presentation will be made at a joint meeting of Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions on Feb. 14, 2013.

The Rotary club will accept nominations from service clubs, churches and individuals of this area. Letters of nomination should include an outline of achievements and efforts for service for the past year and lifetime achievements.

Nominations should be given or mailed to Henry Lewis, 214 Fourth Street, Carmi, IL 62821 on or before Feb. 8, 2013.
